quote.pngThe branch in Nuuk is small, and, as a result, you are involved in all aspects of the business. The community here is also small so building good relations with your customers is a key element for success. I can warmly recommend that people apply for a job here as it is a fantastic learning experience.

Stark

STARK was founded in 1896 under the name of DDT Detail, in which all the stores in the division carried their own local names. In connection with a major branding project in October 2004, the division established a nationwide cooperation and a common identity for all of its stores under the new name "STARK".

The number of builders’ merchant outlets has increased significantly from 1988-1990 due to a consolidation in the builders’ merchant industry. Today, the STARK division is nationwide in Denmark and Greenland.

The primary STARK customers are both professional contractors and DIY builders - the latter being semi-professional consumers who comprise a group somewhere between typical consumer DIY’ers and professional builders.

Professional customers are served from the builders’ merchant outlets, where they have access to more than half a million products - the most widely used are always held in stock, and the rest can be ordered upon customer request - and access to professional advice on all phases of the building process is always available. In addition, about half the stores have a DIY section where consumer DIY’ers can choose from a wide and well-assorted product range.
